The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Sunday arrested a suspected facilitator of the suicide blast in Lahore from Gujranwala. The CTD raided a house in Aimnaabad area of Gujranwala and arrested a man named Zeeshan, who is accused of being one of the facilitators of the Data Darbar suicide blast which claimed the lives of 13 people, including five police officials and a security guard. In his video statement, Zeeshan, however, said he is a grocer and that he is not involved in the Lahore attack. The alleged facilitator further said that at the time of the blast he was inside the shrine and that he ran out as soon as he heard the explosion. “I was accused of being a facilitator after being seen in the video,” he said.
